To facilitate compliance with this statutory requirement, all denominations and registered national religious institutions are required to submit an up-to-date list of their appointed Marriage Officers to the Registrar of the Supreme Court.

All lists should be submitted by tomorrow, Thursday, January 15, 2026, via email to: angela.king@barbados.gov.bb.

Each submission should include the following details for every Marriage Officer:
